Abstract

An excessive amount of cholesterol in the blood (hypercholesterolemia) increases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Several studies show that a reduction in cholesterol levels in the blood corresponds to fewer incidences of heart attack and death related to heart disease. Long periods of treatment with the vitamin niacin significantly reduce the number of heart attacks (by the fifth year of treatment) and death from heart disease (by the seventh year). Patients with high levels of low-density lipoproteins, which transport cholesterol in the blood, are particularly at risk for heart disease and should be treated for hypercholesterolemia. This review article discusses when, in whom, and how to treat hypercholesterolemia. Various treatment methods are evaluated, including diet and drug therapies. The results of experiment are clearly that lowering elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol reduces CHD risk, and more ambiguously that raising low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is beneficial.
